Scientists have now demonstrated a way to equip the body's immune cells with the ability to fight any kind of cancer, providing an early proof-of-concept for a cheap, universal vaccine for the deadly disease.

Engineering immune cells to attack cancer is a form of treatment that is
showing great promise, but it is complex because it involves extracting
and modifying T cells before injecting them back into the body.
Scientists have now demonstrated a way to not just arm immune cells
while still inside the body, but equip them with the ability to fight
any kind of cancer, providing an early proof-of-concept for a cheap,
universal vaccine for the deadly disease.
